we had a very nice time staying at Franco's Agritourismo. Our 12 year old daughter loved the swimming pool and nature life while my wife made great use of the wood fired pizza oven! the location offers excellent views of the valley and is very peaceful. it is good to know that the location is in a valley over the hill from the main highways so it involves some switch back driving to get to the location. however, it is very close to Cortona and we had a wonderful day trip there. Franco was a fantastic host and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and were well taken care of. we were very pleased over all with our stay. Pay close attention to the meeting point for checkin if you do book, since the instructions are to meet in the town of Mercatale and then head out of town to the Agritourismo.

wonderful days in the most quiet place in Italy. our stay was just perfect. the staff was so helpful. borgo di vagli is awesome !

This place is stunning. It's a revamped villa from the 14th century and its completely so intentionally and beautifully and crafted so well. My husband and I spent a very relaxing weekend away here, just soaking in the scenery. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, and if you don't want to leave the property the entire weekend, you're able to, as it's equipped with a grocery, mini market and a restaurant, which is incredible. It's very, very secluded and about a 20-minute drive to the nearest large grocery store, but it was perfect for what we needed. It's very well-managed with a concierge on call and runs more like a hotel but with lots of privacy.

The appartment was a beautifull and quiet place where we spend two weeks of our holiday. We found everything we needed and even more than that. The hospitality of Vanni and Diletta made us feel at home. Nothing was too much for them to help us find our way. The appartment and the pool were very clean and enjoyed it very much. We could walk to the village Mercatale and find the different shops for daily necessities. The people there were very friendly also. We felt in love with Italië ( thanks to Diletta and Vanni)

It is truly relaxing, isolated and surrounded by greenery but at the same time in a great position to visit the beauties of Umbria and Tuscany. Wonderful pool with plenty of hot tub. The owners were friendly and welcoming.

Vanni and Diletta made us feel very welcome at their lovely place. They are kind and helpful in every way. The house is historic, simple and yet comfortable and elegant. The pool it self is a true dream overlooking the mountains and the old castle of Val di Pierle. The place is situated just outside (1km) of the small village of Mercatale, where you'll find all you need - don't miss the pruscuttio (dried ham) at the lokal supermarket or the annual pasta festival in the nabour village in july if you're there. There is no number or name by the road, but you'll see solar cells along the drive way leading up to the house. It's a big property and you see it as the first big property on you're right as you drive out of Mercantale. We enjoyed our stay here and will highly recommend it to other visitors!

We had a fantastic stay with Franco at his apartments in Tuscany. We were met by Franco down in the village and driven up to the apartment which was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Franco was extremely friendly and helpful and was around every morning and some evenings to help with anything we needed. The setting was stunning in the middle of the Tuscan mountains and the views were amazing. The swimming pool was just beautiful . Excellent stay in beautiful apartments with a very friendly and helpful host . Would recommend to family and friends without hesitation.

This locations is great for relaxing and rest. Franco is very helpful if you need advice or help. Pool and appartment are great. Bit far from bugger supermarkets, the the restful environment makes up for that. Great place to spend the holidays with a family.

A magical place we discovered 10 years ago. A restored medieval hamlet set in the hills of the beautiful Niccone valley. Only about half an hour from Cortona. Utter peace and tranquility. Lie by the pool and watch the sun go down over the Tuscan hills, then stroll down to the hamlet Trattoria and enjoy a delicious traditional Tuscan meal. We have two 1 bedroom residences unexpectedly available for 1 week from May 27 and 1 residence from June 3. Normal discounted rate is 1,100 euros per week.

We had a wonderful time at Vanni and Diletta's place. The cottage was well-equipped and spotless, and the pool fantastic. They were very welcoming and helped us make the most of our stay, with tips on the best local food etc. The local area offered plenty of great places to see (Cortona is a must see and only 40mins away) but we were happy just to spend time by the pool.

Paul2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

The apartment is spacious and perfect for a Italian getaway. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed (iron, hair dryer, hangers, parking) and had a pool and jacuzzi! Around the area there was a great bakery and supermarket. The hosts were amazing! We were well taken care of and arrived to the apartment with a local bottle of wine from the hosts' vineyard and a homemade cake. I would highly recommend!!

Stacey2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

It was a pleasuarable experience to stay at Vanni's place. We made a last minute decision to rent it and Vanni and his family was so accommodating and attentive to all our needs. Located in the secluded hills of Cortona with spectacular view, this cozy house delivered a rustic Tuscany life. We loved staying there and are planning to go back at the time of grape harvest. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Vanni and Diletta! We have spent excellent holidays at Vanni's and Diletta's house and can highly recommend this place. Vanni and Diletta are wonderful hosts. It was very easy to contact them and nice to have a chat, but always respecting the privacy of each other. The apartment is very nice and as shown on the pictures. It is tastefully and well equipped. We had everything we needed, including towels, sheets, kitchen towels etc. We had all our meals outside on the terrace (which is not very big, but did fit the six of us) as we had two weeks of sunshine. The three apartments are next to each other, in a row, but as they are on different levels of height, each apartment has got its private terrace. The other two apartments (la stalls and la tabaccaia) are smaller inside, but have a much larger and covered terrace. The pool is absolutely wonderful and we used it a lot. It is very clean and well kept, 12 x 6 m and deep enough for good swimming and diving, so both children and adults had a lot of fun (though not necessarily suited for smaller children). The whirlpool is separate and a lovely place to sit in when the weather is hot. Around the pool, there are enough deckchairs for everyone and also a nice table with chairs under an old oak tree. Vanni's and Diletta's place is ideal for relaxing and biking, the nearby village Mercatale offering everything you need (bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, gelateria...) . We have also visited a lot of remarkable towns (Siena, Arezzo, Assisi and Perugia and even Rome), but therefore, a car is absolutely necessary. The nearest town (20 km) is Cortona which we liked very much as well. So all in all, we can highly recommend this place if you look for a good balance between nature, relaxing and sightseeing, and we have had a wonderful holiday at Vanni's and Diletta's place.

The apartment is located in a villa surrounded by the green hills of the Pierle valley, few miles away from Cortona, lies the Country House Rocca di Pierle, an ideal place to seek and find tranquillity and peace.

"Il Monte" apartment with a wooden roofed balcony of the 70 sq. m. features two double bedrooms or beds for 4 persons. The other rooms are a living room (with kitchenette and fireplace) and a shower equipped bathroom (like the other two apartments).

The central position of this villa near Cortona is within easy reach of the major cultural locations and natural areas of Tuscany and Umbria, such as Florence, Siena, Perugia, Assisi and Rome. Vineyards nearby include the Chianti region, Montalcino and Montepulciano.

We had a wonderful time staying for 7 nights at Andrea’s apartment ‘Il Monte’. Andrea and his family not only gave us a very warm welcome (with welcome cake!) but were on hand with a wealth of great recommendations of places to visit and to eat and drink (we tried them all and they were wonderful)! My friend Chris and his wife stayed at Andrea's last year and recommended we stay there - we were not disappointed. A stunning location, excellent facilities and great family atmosphere. Thank you so much and keep up the great work! Emily, Mike & Polly :)

Emily2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

We spent a wonderful week at Rocca di Pierle at the beginning of August. We received a very warm welcome from Andrea who gave us a tour of the grounds and our apartment which was immaculately clean and very well appointed. There was even a delicious cake, freshly baked by Andrea's wife, waiting for us in our apartment. We stayed in Il Monte which was perfect for us with our little boy (4). We cooked often in the apartment and there is a good range of good quality kitchen equipment and dinnerware and as we always had the option to dine indoors or outdoors. Andrea very kindly took the time to recommend some fantastic local restaurants. We went to two of them, Simone Corsetti Ristorante I Girasoli and Locanda Del Molino both were wonderful and extremely family friendly. The attention that Andrea and his team pay to the details at Rocca di Pierle is amazing and the gardens and swimming pool areas are fantastic. Andrea gave us a mobile phone that we could use to keep in touch with him or make a restaurant booking etc during our stay and if we ever needed to contact him he responded very quickly indeed. We would see Andrea's father most mornings when he would come to check if everything was ok and if we needed anything, we felt very well taken care of! Rocca di Pierle is in a brilliant location for exploring many of the small hilltop towns in both Tuscany and bordering Umbria like Pienza, Cortona, Umbertide and Gubbio but also the bigger cities such as Assisi, Siena, Florence and Rome are within easy reach. We would love to go back to Rocca Di Pierle and maybe next time book all three of Andrea's beautiful apartments and stay with some of our wider family. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Il Poggio is an old farmhouse high on the hills overlooking the green Niccone Valley and the Castle of Pierle. Basic but very comfortable, it provides a unique hideaway among birds, cicadas and crickets, with easy access to local shops and beautiful cities like Cortona, Perugia, Montepulciano and Siena.

The house is in a panoramic and isolated location among hills covered in oak and chestnut trees, and features great views of the unspoiled Niccone Valley.
The top floor has two large bedrooms and a living room with a double sofa-bed, a small kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet.
The main entrance is on the ground floor, under a lovely pergola where you can have a meal while enjoying the views. The rest of the ground floor (still to be renovated) consists of two former stables and a small tower that was used for drying tobacco leaves. There is about one acre of land around the house, which we left a bit 'wild'... ! You can occasionally spot deer, fox and wild boar in the surroundings, and sometimes you will be given a wake up call by wood peckers!

The house is a 10-15 minute drive from the nearest town (Mercatale di Cortona), where you will find banks, supermarkets, a great bakery and butcher, bars, etc.
There is a small market on Wednesday morning, great for vegetables and cheese. The butcher makes 'porchetta' (traditional pork roast) every Thursday, but you have to get there early to get some... it's delicious!
Many of Tuscany's favourite destinations are within easy reach by car:
Cortona - 30 minutes
Lake Trasimeno - 20 minutes
Perugia - 45 minutes
Montepulciano - 40 minutes
Siena - 1 hour
Montalcino - 1 hour
Assisi - 1 hour and 15 minutes
Gubbio - 1 hour
There are lots of nice walks and MTB trails in the area.
During the summer, look out for village fairs, where you can taste local specialties and enjoy some open-air dancing, and for the the many arts and music festivals happening all over the region.

The house was incredibly peaceful and quiet - we loved our stay.

Jennifer2015-09-12T00:00:00Z

Absolutely amazing place. Pretty remote, but exactly what we needed. The views were amazing, and the house was just the right amount of space for us. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an escape in the country, and isn't afraid of driving up long dirt roads.

Lauren2014-10-20T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at Il Poggio and found everything we were looking for: a charming Tuscan countryhouse - nicely furnished and equipped with everything you could possibly need in- and outside the house, a scenic view, peacefulness, quiet and privacy since the only people who came up the mountain that far were some lost hikers once in a while. Paolo is a great host taking very good care of his guests even from far away. He answered all our questions on the same day and made sure that we enjoyed our stay. A welcome gift at our arrival (everything you needed for a first meal) is just one example for that. We felt very lucky having found such a wonderful holiday home and can recommend it without hesitation. The house is also a good starting point for trips to great Tuscan or Umbrian towns such as Perugia, Cortona, Siena. Mercatale, the town below Il Poggio, has everything you need including a great restaurant (Mimmi). But I guess most of the time you will want to stay in this hideout enjoying this great place!
